Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017196473A1] The disclosed computer-implemented method for updating network devices may include (1) determining, by monitoring at least one endpoint device connected to a network device that provides a network connection for the endpoint device, periodic time intervals in which a user of the endpoint device is unlikely to access the network connection via the network device, (2) detecting that a system update is available for the network device that will impair the ability of the network device to provide the network connection for the endpoint device while being applied to the network device, (3) identifying, based on the periodic time intervals in which the user is unlikely to access the network connection, an optimal time at which to apply the available system update to the network device, then (4) applying the available system update to the network device at the optimal time.
